Early evening GMAS contacted the Team Leader regards assistance at a moorland RTA, the location of which was initially unclear, but near the Rivington area. Our Team Leader gave GMAS advice as to the probable location, and immediately contacted three team members who live near the Rivington area, requesting them to respond. LAS were also jointly responding, and an ambulance from Chorley ambulance station arrived on scene first, at the Hordern Stoops location, with GMAS being stood down responding. Our three members arrived to be stood down on scene within 10 minutes of receiving the call. The 28 year old male motorcyclist involved was treated on site by LAS for knee and hip grazes, but declined to be taken to hospital.

Final numbers 103 members of the public, at least 5 dogs, team members and approximately 40 people on horseback climbed Rivington Pike. We needed 50 people to walk from bottom barn to the Pike to climb the same height as Everest. So we managed to climb Everest twice. pic.twitter.com/vx13wRpn8E

We smashed 64 members of the public and 4 dogs have so far climbed the Rivington Pike. We needed 50 people to walk from bottom barn to climb the same height as Everest. Let’s see if we can get 100 people and climb it twice. pic.twitter.com/1FzzCRVet5
